MyInsurance specialises in insurance for UK holiday homes used solely by yourself and/or let out for part of the year and now you no longer have to visit a range of different sites to obtain a quote, many of which offer the holiday home insurance from the same insurer.
MyInsurance products are specifically designed for UK holiday home owners and provide cover that standard home insurance policies will not include.
Many insurance companies will not offer insurance for UK holiday homes due to the additional insurance risks associated with holiday homes, for example:
- Many UK holiday homes are unoccupied during the week and/or for extended periods of time during
the winter which means that:
- They can be at greater risk of burst pipes, theft and/or malicious damage/vandalism
- If there is a flood or fire, the damage to the holiday home can more severe as it can take longer for the fire brigade etc to be notified and the crisis dealt with
- Holiday homes also present a higher insurance risk for Public Liability insurance because:
- The owner of the holiday home is often absent when guests or visitors are on the premises
- There can be more guests/visitors to a UK holiday home than a normal home
- UK holiday homes may have swimming pools which present greater insurance risks/hazards
